Glassdoor.com vs. Textio

[Glassdoor.com] is well suited for larger, older organizations who have had time to build up a reputation in the market and have lots of employees come and go. This means that job seekers will have a lot more data to peruse when it comes to company reviews, interviews, salaries, etc. simply because there is a larger pool of people to provide such information. If you are a small or new organization, [Glassdoor.com] might not be helpful for candidates trying to learn more about your company.

Scenarios where Textio is well suited include tackling any organization's needs to go through their written material (in our case, job descriptions), identify potential bias and quickly know how to improve it. Identifying language patterns is Textio's forte, so I would say any language review effort could benefit from it.

• Glassdoor is an expensive product and price needs to be lower for employers.
• They have to find a way to stop companies from rigging their ratings by asking their employees to post positive reviews.
• Also, somehow they need to figure out if the negative review is an attempt to show their frustration by an employee rather than the true picture of the organization.

• Price is rather high

Support is generally excellent, but there can be a fair amount of bureaucracy at times for requests. The support people are very knowledgeable of the platform, but sales seem to regurgitate the same info when trying to negotiate or upsell a client. Technical issues are rare and usually solved quickly.

LinkedIn is the most direct competitor and to be honest Glassdoor's offering does not match up. LinkedIn's product is superior as it is more developed, more precise, you can get more insights as an applicant and as a business. I would use both services but Glassdoor would not be my first choice.
